An Open Letter to ebay india Team
Thank you introducing the new paisepay stringent rules.
Thank you for indirectly helping me close my shop & auction on ebay india.
Thank you for inadvertently helping me migrate to ebay.com (starting sales $350.00 in 25 days!)
I am a small collector & a part time dealer in stamps selling from baazee.com days.
I have participated in several discussions boards on ebay but ebay India could not explain why i was not on the express paisepay remittance gravy train, till yesterday indraneel of ebay replied to my query & gave a list of probabilities on the discussion board.
Then a member of my fraternity who had less positive ratings but was on the express remittance gently explained that it could be because of my low volume of business.
Poor sales? Excuse me but should,nt ebay india be held responsible for that. Before taking the seller to task for non performance they should ask them how to improve their sales
An item in ebay.com is more watched, more bidders, & gets more exposure, more bids than ebay india , its only because there are more categories.
If i want to list stamps of Thailand, ebay.com has that specific category whereas ebay india does not have.
I used different ids listed two similar lots internationally one through ebay india, another in ebay.com - no prizes for guessing which got more exposure & highest amount of bids & money.
Ebay india do surveys, ask suggestions which are never taken but have introduce this new paise policy without so much as by your leave! ebay.com the parent company has no such rules
Before pointing a finger at the buyer & accusing him of lower sales the ebay india team should take a deep look within them selves!
Advantages of ebay.com: More categories, translates to more bidders, more sales . Money comes first from the buyers & trust plays an important part. Paypal is only an option & not a compulsion like paisepay
Disadvantages in ebay india: Less categories for instance, even if listed internationally via ebay india there were less bidders simply because the specific category was not there in ebay india. ebay india shows immense mistrust for sellers by introducing paisepay
Team Ebay India does,nt understand that if there are no sellers there wont be any buyers. Its never too late to admit mistakes & change or amend the rules, more sellers translates to more buyers. Mistakes are the beginning of experience & experience is the beginning of wisdom!
